Spencer Pratt says he doesn’t care about national politics after Trump backed his bid for L.A. mayor
NBC News ^ | May 20, 2026 | Alexandra Marquez

Former reality TV star and Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt rebuffed a potential endorsement from President Donald Trump, telling NBC News on Thursday, “I don’t need anyone’s endorsement but mothers’. That’s who’s getting me elected.”

Pratt, who has focused his insurgent campaign against Mayor Karen Bass on calling for better wildfire management and combating homelessness, added that he’s chosen not to comment on Trump or national politics on principle throughout his campaign.

“My race is a local race. I don’t care what’s going on in the, in the national politics, in other states. I am running for a local position,” Pratt, 42, who gained political prominence last year by criticizing city and state leaders online after his house burned in the destructive Los Angeles wildfires, told “NBC Nightly News” anchor Tom Llamas.

The president last week told reporters about Pratt, “I’d like to see him do well. He’s a character,” adding, “I assume he probably supports me,” and, “I heard he’s a big MAGA person.”

“This, this right here, what you’re doing, you having this conversation is what’s destroyed local elections,” Pratt told Llamas when pushed on a potential Trump endorsement.

“People don’t care. In L.A., they want to feel safe, they don’t want to step in human poop,” he said. “I don’t need to have personal opinions about anybody that doesn’t affect them stepping in human poop.”

He has to say that right now. Best to avoid any direct involvement from Trump before election day. You don’t want to give fresh motivation to the hard L Liberals to vote against Pratt.

San Francisco and Los Angeles ought to start up “poop tourism.”

It would be tours to various places. In San Francisco, you’d visit the Salesforce parking lot and get to choose which Tesla or Rivian you would then take a cr-p on, standing or sitting. In Los Angeles, you could be ushered into the LA police parking lot to pick your choice there. You should expect to pay $180-$225 for the experience.

The tour bus would take you around to places that get a lot of poop and explain why each is so attractive for such an experience.

I could see an extra charge to be able to sh-t on the mayor’s car or some well-known celebrity. A picture should be included for all poos.

Sheesh, a potted plant would be better than 4 more years of Karen Bass.

A cigar store Indian would be a better mayor than Karen Bass. A cigar store Indian wouldn’t make things worse. Pratt needs to stick to his knitting, bat away any comparisons to state or national figures. Trump lost LA by 33%.

I agree with you completely about Bass, but Pratt is going to be running against the whole LA political establishment. Dems have at least a 2:1 advantage there.

What’s so hard to believe or understand about that?

He’s not running on a national platform. He’s running for a local seat to deal with local problems as required by a distributed form of government.

That would be refreshing, but even if you don’t care about national politics, it “cares” about you

He needs lots of Democrats to vote for him. He is doing everything right, including disregarding Trump’s support (right now). After the election he can thank Trump.

Maybe he should reconsider that.

If he wins the MSM will be talking about Sacramento, not D.C. LA is too big a $hithole. It will take 10 years. Good thing he’s young and knows how to play to the cameras. First thing he’ll do is thank Trump and say he’ll need his help and Trump will be there for him. Then he’ll order the cops to cooperate with ICE. Once the gang bangers are gone they can go easier on the law abiding and come up with an arrangement idea like the one Trump offered in his first term. I’d like to see them all return home for a month during the holidays so that we don’t get too comfortable with them. Clean up the welfare rolls. Win-win.

They are getting worried, but I don’t think they will let him win. My money says boxes of ballots are being loaded right now to be used if necessary next week.
